FACULTY ADOPTED POLICIES

Section II.2
PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES FOR LIMITING THE NUMBER OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS WHO MAY SERVE ON THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Proposed by the Policy and Development Committee November 10, 1988
Adopted by the Faculty February 16, 1989

The Bylaws of the College state that ..."no more than two members of the
Executive Committee shall be executive officers of schools, departments, or
other units of instruction." [VI.D.3.b].

The following guidelines should be followed:

Nomination and Election of Executive Officers to the Executive Committee

Executive officers can be nominated for election to the Executive Committee
provided that there is one or no incumbent executive officer. If there
are two incumbent executive officers, nominations of executive officers will
not
be accepted.

If there is one [no] incumbent executive officer, then one [two] additional
executive officer[s] may be elected. If more than one [two] executive officer[s]
win[s] the election in his/her [their] electoral group, then the one [two]
with the highest vote count[s] will assume the membership. In the other
electoral group[s] in which an executive officer won the election, the candidate[s]
with
the second highest vote count will assume membership.

The Secretary of the Faculty will summarize the guidelines which apply
to the current composition of the Executive Committee in the call for nominations
on the ballot for election.

Appointment of a Member of the Executive Committee
as an Executive Officer

A member who is appointed as an executive officer
may continue to serve if the resulting number of executive officers is two
or less. If the appointment
results in more than two executive officers, the member is not eligible
to
continue service on the Executive Committee.
